Weight Loss Factors
Metabolism
Another factor that we will be trying to overcome is that of metabolism . Metabolism is simply the rate at which we burn the calories that we have consumed during each day . There are a number of factors that determine the speed of your metabolism .
How can I speed up my metabolism ?
Food The first of which is the food you eat which includes factors such as how many meals you eat , what kind of food you eat , and how much you eat during each sitting . These are things that weʼll be able to change in order to speed up your metabolism .
Lean Body Mass Some people are born with the ability to carry more lean body mass than others without exercising . This is just something you will have to live with . However , if you noticed I said “ without exercising ”. By exercising correctly you can increase your lean body mass substantially .
Body fat Percentage The more fat your body has , the slower your metabolism will be . By exercising you will both decrease your body fat , while increasing your lean body mass . So itʼs a win-win situation .
Age Studies show that after the age of 20 , our bodies lose 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 pound of muscle tissue per year if we do not exercise on a regular basis . This is the very reason that our metabolism slows as we age . Remember , it is muscle that burns calories , not fat .
If we lose 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 pounds of muscle every year after the age of 25 our percentage of body fat rises significantly .
So it isnʼt simply a matter of getting older that causes our metabolism to slow down . It is a matter of losing lean muscle ; however there is hope . We can and will do something about this . I will show you exactly what youʼll need to do so this never happens .
